Mnuchin says Greta Thunberg should study economics before calling for fossil fuel divestment
Fox News ^ | January 23 2020 | Edmund DeMarche

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin took a shot at Greta Thunberg -- the famed teen climate activist -- on Thursday over her push at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, for companies to immediately cease all investments in fossil fuels.

Mnuchin was at a news conference in the Alpine town when he was asked about Thunberg's earlier appeal to abandon older sources of energy, according to Reuters.

"Is she the chief economist? ... After she goes to college and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us," he was quoted saying.

Good point. A degree in economics doesn’t cancel out crazy.

“Mnuchin says Greta Thunberg should study economics before calling for fossil fuel divestment”

Our side should be simply calling out her father, now that we know he’s doing the tweeting in her name...plus that insulates us from the claim we’re ‘attacking a child’. So, for this case:

“Mnuchin says Greta’s FATHER should study economics before calling for fossil fuel divestment”

Krugman has probably already shadowed her.

Thunder should look down study economics? Heck, she should study science. She should study life, of which she knows nothing about.
Why is anyone even wasting any time on this dumb Swede dunderhead anyways?

How old is she again?
At her age, she is working on pure emotional rather than logical, educated, rational thought.

In other words, in her case, garbage = garbage out.

This child would be unlikely to be where she is today if it were not for the development of energy resources based in large part on fossil fuels. In most Scandinavian countries just a little over a hundred years ago (prior to fossil fuel use), children would be working in the fields, tending flocks of animals, cutting and carrying firewood, cooking, making clothes by hand with needle and thread, and any other number of labor-intensive but essential-to-survival chores. They would all be made prematurely old (if they survived into adulthood) from a life of harsh labor in an unforgiving environment. Education? Unlikely beyond the rudiments of survival. She obviously never looked at it that way. How dare she?

Yeah, that little troll looking psycho should study economics. And all who listen to an autistic narcissistic child should study the Bible: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son....."

That brat desperately needs what 90% of the world's children are missing: parenting. Because her parents are clearly too stupid to raise goldfish, much less, children.

She is a mean, hate filled child. That is why her parents sent her packing. Couldn’t stand her.

“...famed teen climate activist...”

Author missed the </sarcasm> tag. re-Greta’s just a well-coached, nutcase, airhead punk kid.

Yea, there was some kind of Twitter leak a week or so ago that outed her father has the ‘brains’ of the operation. It’s actually now a supportable position (rather than just making sense).
